Excellent hotel
It was an amazing experience being in the historic center. Hotel is very close to many tourist attractions and walking distance to shopping and authentic food places too. Zocalo Central and Rooftop hotel has a great restaurant where there is a great view of the Center/Zocalo Square. Staff made the experience even better as they are all very welcoming, warm and friendly. Shout out to the bellhop service, Antonio, Raul and Daniel, the concierge service and the front desk service, Ivan and Christina. Thank you very much.

Arrived here on April 30th . Very clean & modern hotel. Wonderful view of the plaza and Cathedral from the 6th floor rooftop bar.
Breakfast on the rooftop area was also very good. We booked a ride from the airport to the hotel with the hotel and the pu k was efficient and timely.

Zocalo Central is the hotel you want to stay at when visiting Mexico City. It’s located in the heart of the historic center and directly across from the cathedral and zocalo. You can easily walk to museums, parks, and restaurants by foot or catch a hop-on hop-off bus near by to visit attractions or other neighborhoods that are a bit further way from the historic center. Your stay at this hotel includes an amazing daily buffet breakfast and free food and drink (some exceptions) at their cafe. Food is delicious! The staff at this hotel is also very kind and helpful. The service we received from Cristina (front desk), Anayeli (housekeeping), and Raúl (bellman) made our most recent stay wonderful. If you are planning a visit to this amazing city, Zocalo Central Hotel will not disappoint.
